WindScanner.eu - The European WindScanner Facility (WINDSCANNER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The future high rate of deployment of renewable energy will require a substantial increase in the installed wind power capacity towards 2020 and beyond, in fact this demand corresponds approximately to the installation of one large turbine every hour for the next decade. This is a substantial “grand challenge” as outlined in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) from 2009, which is the t ...

EERA Design Tools for Offshore Wind Farm Cluster (EERA-DTOC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) together with some high-impact industry partners addresses the call proposing an integrated and validated design tool combining the state-of-the-art wake, yield and electrical models available in the consortium, as a plug-in architecture with possibility for third party models. To decrease uncertainties around wind farm wake predictions, a small measur ...

Gasification of Biofuels and Recovered Fuels (GAS BIOREF)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

This proposal aims to demonstrate the utilisation of a wide range of biomass feedstocks in an innovative energy conversion scheme. More particularly, it is proposed to convert equal proportions of app. 25000 tons/y of Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), derived from a planned MSW recycling facility and biomass (from energy crops) to electricity and heat in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) gasification power ...

EUROpean multilevel integrated BIOREFinery design for sustainable biomass processing (EuroBioRef)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The development and implementation of bio-refinery processes is an absolute necessity and the key to meet the vision towards bio-based economy. The EuroBioRef concept is an integrated, sustainable and diversified bio-refinery involving all biomass value chain stakeholders. The latter will allow large-scale research, testing, optimisation and demonstration of processes in the production of a wide r ...

Development of an intelligent condition monitoring system for application on critical rotating components of industrial-scale wind turbines (INTELWIND)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"Wind energy currently provides approximately 3% of the overall European electricity production. However, with the current growth trends exhibited the wind energy industry is capable of delivering 12% of the overall European power production by 2020 and more than 20% by 2030.Operation and maintenance costs (O&M) constitute a sizeable share of the total annual costs of a wind turbine. For a new mac ...

Development of a clean and energy self-sustained building in the vision of integrating H2 economy with renewable energy sources (H2SUSBUILD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

More than 40% of the total energy consumed in the EU is used to cover the needs for heating, cooling and electricity of buildings. As the major part of this energy is produced from combustion of oil and natural gas, both the EU and the EU Building Sector are highly depended on imported fossil fuels. Moreover, the Sector is also a major contributor to Green-House Gas (GHG) emissions. To address iss ...
